Bonkers Blog August 2015

Councillor Peter Craske announced in
his recent Press Release that a
parkour would be officially opened in the Lesnes Abbey Park playground on 28th August and I had no
idea what a parkour was. The park is only three or four minutes walk from home so I went along to take a look.

The purpose of the parkour is without much doubt to attract teenagers, which it was doing very successfully. It
is certainly not suitable for the under tens for which the playground mainly
caters and yesterday the only people using it were fit young men.
I do hope that Cabinet Member Craske has thought this one through.
